About Me

Tuesday

My kids and I had the idea of creating a giant slip 'n slide, you know, so they could really get some speed. We are so blessed to have Kahuna as the head of the house. He always comes through for us! He took the kids to Home Depot and bought 50 feet of six mil plastic. They secured the sides with stakes that were flush with the grass, turned on the hose, added just a bit of dish soap to the slide to make it really fast, and boom... homemade slip 'n slide.

Just great!! "Families that play together, stay together"... that was my parents motto for us when we were kids... although I would add "pray together" to my own family motto now : ) Happy Birthday Beach Bunny!

so awesome! Looks like so much fun. What a great idea. Happy Birthday sweet Isabella. . . I love that Lucia and Isabella have birthdays within a day of eachother. I can't believe they are two! How did that happen???

Where in the world are you?

About us

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.

Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.

Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.

Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

I Corinthians 13:4-13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
